About Jeff and Shana

My name is Jeff Peacock and I am a 2nd-generation owner of Peacocks Transmission Inc. in Cleburne, TX. My dad Bill Peacock gave me the opportunity to work for him in the transmission shop when I was 16. I would come in after school to work. He made me start at the bottom, the very bottom. I remember scrubbing floors, picking up after other techs, cleaning the bathrooms, and just about anything else that the other techs didn't want to do. Looking back I didn't understand the fundamental lesson that my dad was teaching me. Sometimes, we have to start at the bottom to reach the top.

My dad instilled in me that hard work and dedication pay off. I should listen and learn when someone is teaching, treat people fair, do the best work possible, and treat every customer like they were your mother because they may not be yours, but they are someone’s! He taught me how to work on transmissions. Years ago, he said "learn the electronics son". Because that's where it’s headed; I heeded the warning and I learned. Above all of this, he taught me character. After all of this, I took the shop he started and I made it the very best I could.

After a lot of prayers and thought, I decided to provide you with more than transmissions. Now, in addition to the transmission shop, we now have a complete automotive repair shop, Main Street Elite Auto Repair, LLC and Peacocks Transmission will remain just where it is and has been for the past 30 years. My vision is to have the best automotive repair shop around. We both have a desire to treat people fair and if they have a problem, we will do everything in our power to make it right.

My wife Shana has been a huge blessing in my life for over 24 years. With her help, we will make this dream come true. She will be helping with the office as she does at the transmission shop; I'm thankful that we share the same dreams and desires to see this come to light. She is my rock that helps keep me going. My kids, Garrett and Brie have helped in ways that they don't even know, for them, for being so understanding, I am so thankful. Garrett has expressed an interest in working with us in the summers. Brie would help in the office if she wasn't going to school to become a nurse. I am so proud of both of them for the people they have become. I am also thankful for my father and mother-in-law, Joe and Vi Russell for all of their prayers, help, and support.

I keep thinking back to what my dad always said "All you have to do is to do what you say you're going to do, be fair, honest, and take care of your customers and they will take care of you."

I pray that I leave a legacy that my kids can be proud of just as my parents did for me.
